His Majesty the King of the Netherlands has formally opened Robin Radar Systems’ new 9,000-square-metre headquarters, tripling the Dutch radar company’s operational capacity to meet growing global demand for counter-UAS technology.
We’re proud to announce the official opening of our new headquarters in Delft, inaugurated by His Majesty King Willem-Alexander on Thursday, 12 November 2026.
The moment marks a significant milestone for Robin, following our expansion into a new 9,000-square-metre research, engineering, and operations facility – more than triple the size of our previous headquarters. With over 800 radar systems deployed worldwide, the move allows us to scale our operations to meet growing international demand for advanced radar technology.
“It is a great honour to welcome His Majesty King Willem-Alexander to officially open our new headquarters in Delft. This is a crowning moment for everyone at Robin Radar and a testament to the years of dedication and hard work of our incredible team. As demand for counter-UAS technology continues to grow, this facility represents an important step in our ambition to strengthen Dutch innovation and contribute to Europe’s defence and security capabilities. Robin Radar is Europe’s new breed of radar company, adaptive to change, and this expansion will help us continue to innovate and deliver at the speed the market requires.”
Siete Hamminga, CEO, Robin Radar Systems
A Royal visit: spotlighting Dutch defence
During the visit, King Willem-Alexander officially opened the facility and met employees from across the business. A tour of the headquarters highlighted our technological innovation, manufacturing capabilities, and the challenges associated with scaling the Dutch defence industry.
The King also received an introduction to the operational deployment of our technology in conflict zones, including how direct battlefield feedback is incorporated into the continuous development and improvement of our radar systems.
The opening formed part of our wider SIGNAL event, which also welcomed Derk Boswijk, the Netherlands’ Minister for Arms Procurement and Personnel, who visited the facility and delivered an address, underscoring the growing need for innovation, industrial capacity, and collaboration as key drivers of European defence capabilities.
Expanding capacity to meet demand
Our new Delft headquarters significantly expands our capacity for research, prototyping, specialised production, system integration and testing, alongside a fourfold increase in customer service and support. Working with trusted Dutch manufacturing partners, the move allows us to increase production and achieve faster innovation cycles as defence demand accelerates.
The expansion comes as drone warfare, hybrid threats, and civil use of unmanned air vehicles reshape defence priorities across Europe. With more than 300 employees expected by the end of 2026, our new facility strengthens our ability to develop and deliver advanced radar systems at scale, while contributing to Europe’s sovereign defence industrial capacity.
